SPH-4 is a simple, smart and powerful patching hub that converts Ethernet copper ports to SFP sockets.
The device connects to any RJ-45 compatible switch and interoperates with RAD’s System on an SFP family of
products, MiRICi and MiTOP. SPH-4 complies with standard SFP devices from any other vendor.
SPH-4 can also be used as an Ethernet copper-to-fiber converter, with various fiber optic media, to extend the distance of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks.
The device supports hot-swappable SFPs working at 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, as well as Ethernet copper ports working at 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps with autodiscovery.
SPH-4 provides a flexible lower-cost alternative to expensive dedicated SFPs.
